July 7, 2023 – World Chocolate Day  

Some like it dark and bitter, others smooth and sweet, but no matter what your flavour preference this World Chocolate Day, on July 7, join us in taking a bite. Whether it’s used to coat other candies and nuts, melted over fruit, or shaven over a gourmet dessert, chocolate always hits the spot. Although chocolates are recognized as fattening, amazingly they can also aid weight loss and help maintain weight if consumed moderately. 

July is National Picnic Month  

When the weather gets warmer and the rains of spring have abated, the outdoors are beckoning all those adventurous families who are out to have fun in the sun. Local parks have finally come out from under the pall of cloud gray skies, and picnics can begin in earnest! 

Picnic month is exceptionally easy to celebrate! You just have to get outside into the world and enjoy all the wonderful sights and smells it has to offer. Get your family and friends together at a favourite nearby park and bring your favourite foods that can be eaten cold for a traditional picnic, or bring a small grill and prepare warm delicious food on the spot!
